Support
We offer full support for email, calendar and docs through the Technology Helpdesk. Also check out the Google Apps Learning Center or the Google Apps for Education Training Center for tips, tricks and training videos for Google's "core" services (email, calendar, docs, sites).
Though we are not familiar with all of the bells and whistles that the additional services offer, we will try to assist you if you have questions. You can also consult the Google Support Center, which contains links to Google's help options for each of their services (please note that some services have not been enabled or are not available for oxy.edu accounts).
A wealth of documentation and videos can also be found online on YouTube and other websites. One thing to keep in mind when searching more broadly online is that Google regularly updates their products to include new features, so limiting your search to recently posted results (no more than the last year) using advanced search functions or search operators can be very helpful.
Google's Terms of Service
Please review Google's Privacy Policy for these services. Also note that any profiles you build with these Google services must indicate that you are at least 13 years old, or your Google account will be immediately disabled. Your birthdate and age are not revealed to anyone unless you choose to make that information public.
